or Site Significance is not always a Function of Baseline Length

Abstract: Aside from Late Woodland villages that are large and produce 
lots of things, most of the province's prehistory is represented by sites 
that are considerably smaller and produce a relatively limited assemblage. 
This is the nature of small sites and the nature of much of the 
archaeological record. This presentation provides some examples of 
investigations on "small sites", the good, the bad and the ugly, and some 
ideas concerning our visions of site significance.
